5.0/5We had a great experience with Safari 62 - fun and adventure all around!
Our planning with Safari 62 began a couple of weeks before our travel. The planning was totally tailored to our party and paced well for the little kids we had with us. We went to Murchison Falls for 3 days - with an evening game drive, morning game drive, afternoon boat safari, and then experiencing the falls on our last morning. It was packed full, but so much fun for everyone! A few days later, we visited Ngamba Island Chimpanzee Sanctuary, which was a very adventurous boat ride out to the island, and an organized excursion to see the chimps and throw them some food. Again, everyone enjoyed this! Compared to other tours online, Safari 62 had a much better value for the money, and their communication and personalized planning and follow-through really made it a wonderful experience.

Perfect
I went on a safari with Isaac and it was an unforgettable experience. He treated us incredibly well—always kind, attentive, and endlessly patient. He stopped for every single bird we saw along the way, and being Uganda, there were many! He taught us so much about the local culture and made sure we felt safe and cared for at all times. I can’t wait to go back. Highly, highly recommended!

Excellent guide
I had a 14 days round trip in Uganda and I had an excellent guide (thank you very much Isaac!), nice person, knowledgeable and customer-first mentality. I have seen many different animals. The best part for me was the tracking for Chimps and Gorilla's. This trip definitely made me a good ambassador for Uganda the tour operator. Many thanks!
